We’ve all experienced “that” feeling.  But did you know that there is a name for it?  The Itis, ladies and gentlemen, is the sleepy feeling that takes over our bodies after we finish a calorie-loaded meal.  Rapper Black ELement has the creative wit to discuss this phenomenon in his own self-described “otherground” style; just as he gets tired of figuratively eating up the industry’s fodder, the hunger for more eventually comes back.  The New Jersey native straps on a vocoder for the hook, but it fits nicely over the low-key production courtesy of 6th Sense.  If you’re wondering who opens the record, it is Grandad from Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks (Black ELement’s inspiration for the track) describing The Itis.

LOL at the intro.
This sounds a lil chill + ol' skoo.
so i give it a 3 stars. The beat kinda doesnt work with me, but the verses are pretty solid.

Hahaha! Boondocks at the beginning! I'm loving this. This beat is mad ill. I've never heard anything from Black Element, but this is a decent debut to my ears. I like this. It's a fresh sound and content. The hook is pretty wack though. He could've came up with something better for that. I'll give him 3.

My favorite cartoon ever! Boondocks! This production is nice and dark. Kinda smooth as well. I picture riding through hell in a 64 with cheeseburger in my hand listenin to this! Black Element gets lost in the production 4 me. I hate to say it but I was lost in the beat. So I can judge him as I should, I would actually like him to be quiet so I can get back to my strange fantasy involving this song. lol This is HOT!
